A Stepfather's Love

To love my Mom, it came with a price
Three young kids who weren’t so nice
We gave you hell all day and night
Cause we didn’t think it was right

In place of my dad, you never tried to be
But you were just like a father to me
The lessons in life I learned from you
Will live in my heart and carry me through

You were taken from us so fast
But your love will always last 
And now I must say Goodbye
To a swell and wonderful guy


In loving memory of Calvin Norris
Your legacy will never leave us
